Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Without A Voice ❯ Secrets Revealed ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter 4: Secrets Revealed   Tristan noticed Kristy look at him with shock on her face and asked,             & nbsp; “What?”   Kristy tried communicating with him telepathically by asking,                ‘Tristan, can you hear me?’   Tristan jumped when he heard Kristy’s voice in his mind.             &n bsp; ‘I’ll take that as a yes.’           &nb sp; ‘Kristy? What’s going on?’ ‘I made a wish that I could communicate with you telepathically like I can with my cards, and it came true.’ ‘Okaaay’ ‘I’m not crazy, because I know you can hear me and the shock on your face proves it.’ ‘I never said you were crazy, but this is kind of a shock.’ ‘I know, and I’m sorry it startled you. I just wonder what the others will say.’ ‘Yugi shouldn’t have a problem with it, and neither should the others.’ ‘Good, then when should we tell them?’ ‘Tomorrow, at school.’ ‘Okay, it’s settled then, tomorrow. You should head home, it’s getting late.’ ‘Actually, I’d like to stay here if that’s alright. I really don’t wanna go home to an empty house.’ ‘You’ll have to go there anyways to get some clothes and things.’ ‘I can stay, just like that?!’ ‘Yeah, I tend to get lonely too you know. I’ll even walk with you to your house and back.’ ‘Okay, let’s go!’   So Kristy and Tristan left to his house to get some of his things. The two returned to Kristy’s an hour later and got ready for bed. That night, Tristan stayed in the guest room next to Kristy’s room and they got up the next morning and headed off to school together.            &nbs p;  “Hey guys!” Yugi called as they approached the gate.             “Hey Yugi.” Tristan said, and then continued, “We have to tell you something.” ‘Actually, you’ll be telling and I’ll be standing here like a mime.’ Kristy thought to him sarcastically.   Tristan looked at her with a fake glare then turned back to see a confused Yugi.             &n bsp; “I’ll tell you when the others get here.” Tristan said.             “Oh, okay.” Yugi replied.   The others arrived and Tristan told them the whole story; about what happened with the bullies, their cards coming to their aide, as well as the Summoned Skull’s threat to the bullies, and what happened the other night that allowed them to communicate with each other telepathically. Yami listened intently in his soul room and contacted Yugi.             //Yugi? //             /Yes Yami/ //I think you were right all along when you said that she’d trust Tristan the best; and I think that they’ve become a couple; even if they don’t realize it just yet. //   Unfortunately for Kristy and Tristan, Ryou was also there and his yami had found a way back from the Shadow Realm once again.   ‘So, Kristy and Tristan can communicate with each other telepathically. I wonder how far the communication line between them can reach before they can’t hear each other any more.’ Bakura thought before he started laughing evilly.   After school, the friends went their separate ways to their homes and Kristy asked her Harpie’s Brother card to keep an eye on her and watch her back. With his agreement, he came out of his card and took flight. Kristy continued on her way home when she saw Bakura leaning on a wall to her right. She started to get worried at the thought of having to pass him in order to get to her house. When she got towards him, he said,   “You know, I hate it when Yami throws me into the Shadow Realm, especially when I’m in the middle of trying to kill someone.” ‘If you weren’t such an evil psychopath, maybe you’d stay in the real world for longer periods of time.’ Kristy thought, feeling that he wouldn’t be able to hear her. Unfortunately, he could hear her thoughts whether in the Shadow Realm or not. “I happen to like being evil thank you very much. Now you will come with me.” Bakura said, reaching out and grabbing her upper arm.   Kristy tried to get out of his grasp, but she soon realized that he was a lot stronger than he looked.                ‘Tristan, Bakura’s back, and he’s not happy!’ She thought in a panic.   Jou was talking to Tristan, when he noticed his friends eyes glaze over and a look of anger cross his features.            &nbs p;  “Yo Tristan, you okay buddy?” Jou asked.             “Bakura’s pestering Kristy again, I have to go.” Tristan said angrily.             “Let’s go get the others to help.” Jou suggested. “It might be too late by then; Kristy thinks he’s going to kill her!” Tristan exclaimed before he ran off towards her place.   Jou ran towards the game shop to get Yami and Yugi to help. Meanwhile, while Tristan was heading towards Kristy’s place, Bakura had already transported Kristy and him to a cliff. Bakura finally let go of Kristy’s arm and grabbed her shirt collar before holding her over the side of the cliff.   ‘Oh my god, he’s going to drop me!’ Kristy thought just before he let go of her shirt and watched as she fell.   Tristan, Jou, Yugi, and Yami just got there after he dropped her. Tristan ran over to Bakura and grabbed him by his shirt collar shouting,            &nbs p;  “You Bastard! You dropped the only girl I ever really had feelings for!”   Then Tristan punched Bakura in the stomach and threw him to the ground before he started kicking him in the ribs. Jou and Yami had to hold him back so that he wouldn’t end up beating him to death. As Kristy was falling she thought frantically,   ‘Harpie’s Brother, catch me please!’   The ground started getting closer to her and she closed her eyes preparing for the impact when she felt herself fall into someone’s arms. She opened her eyes to find Harpie’s Brother looking at her and she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug to say thank you. When they got back up to the cliff, everyone was huddled around Tristan who was crying and slamming his fist into the ground, cursing himself for failing to get to Kristy on time.   ‘Tristan, I’m okay, I called out Harpie’s Brother before any of this happened. I’m still very much alive; look towards the cliff’s edge.’ Kristy thought in a gentle tone towards Tristan.   Tristan’s head shot up and he shouted,   “Kristy!” before looking to the cliff’s edge where he saw Kristy standing with outstretched arms.   Tristan was on his feet in a matter of seconds running towards her, ending with embracing each other. Tristan was so happy to see her; he put his hands on her waist, lifted her up, and spun her around in the air.             &nb sp; “Yep, they’re definitely in love.” Yami stated sarcastically.   Yugi nudged him in the side with his elbow saying,                         “Yami!” in a scolding tone.             “What?! It’s true.” Yami said innocently.           &nb sp; “What’d ya mean they’re in love?” Jou asked.             “Just look at how they act around each other.” Yami answered simply.   Jou looked to see Tristan and Kristy in the middle of a deep kiss.   “Maybe I should’ve waited to see how they act around each other.” Jou said while quickly turning away from the scene.   Yugi and Yami started to laugh at Jou’s reaction. Kristy realized that Harpie’s Brother was watching the scene and she told him he could go back into his card after apologizing for forgetting he was there and thanking him for rescuing her.   ‘It’s not like I was the only one watching.’ Harpie’s Brother said, after returning to his card.   At that comment both Tristan and Kristy turned to see Yami, Yugi, and Jou grinning at them. Both Tristan and Kristy blushed and laughed nervously.            &nb sp;  “I’m starved, let’s go eat.” Tristan said, changing the subject.             “Suuure, let’s go.” Jou said slyly earning a slap upside the head from Tristan.   Kristy just laughed at the scene before her as they turned and headed into town.   On their way through the woods, Tristan and Kristy decided that they should let their secret out and tell everyone that they had become a couple. The group was okay with the idea and Yami was beaming with a smile that said ‘I told you so.’   ‘Kristy, I feel strange when I’m around you sometimes, and I’m not talking strange as in butterflies in the stomach, it’s something else.’ Tristan said to her. ‘You too huh?’ Kristy asked flatly.   Tristan was a bit taken back but then smiled warmly at her. Once they joined hands, a bright white light surrounded them causing Yugi, Jou, and Yami to turn around.                “Yami what’s happening?!” Yugi shouted in a panic. “I don’t know Aibou.” Yami shouted back while blocking his eyes from the wind that had come up.   When the light faded, they saw that Tristan and Kristy were in formal attire. Tristan wore a black tuxedo while Kristy wore a sleeveless white shimmering gown. They both had silver necklaces in which each had half of a gold pendant. They each wore gold bracelets and they each had gold arm bands on as well, but Tristan’s couldn’t be seen through his tuxedo. Kristy and Tristan floated to the ground and seemed to have passed out.   “I don’t think we’ll be eating any time soon.” Yami said. “We have to figure out what just happened first.” He continued before Jou could protest.   As they watched the scene Kristy and Tristan’s normal attire was back and they slowly started to regain consciousness.             ;   “Ugh, what happened?” Kristy asked, and got gasps from everyone.             ; “I feel like I’ve been hit by a semi.” Tristan said, holding his head.   Once the disorientation wore off, Yugi said excitedly,           &nbs p;             “Kristy, you just spoke?!”   Kristy looked at him with a mix of shock and confusion before Tristan asked,             & nbsp; “Is this true?”   Kristy looked at him and then at the group and started stuttering,            &n bsp;  “Well I…uhh… I…I-It must be a-a miracle.”            ;  “You did speak!” Tristan said ecstatically and pulled her into a hug.   Kristy pulled away from the hug with a bright smile on her face and tears in her eyes.   ‘I guess this means I can’t communicate with my cards and Tristan telepathically anymore.’ Kristy thought sadly. ‘Who says?’ She heard Tristan and the Summoned Skull say at the same time. “Guys, I can talk, and communicate telepathically with Tristan and my cards!” She said excitedly.           &nbs p; “Alright! Group hug!” Jou said, pulling everyone into a hug.             “Thank you all so much for being my friends.” Kristy said with tears in her eyes. “You don’t need to thank us, we’re just glad you could finally trust us enough to accept our friendship.” Yugi said cheerfully.   Kristy looked at the ground and said sadly,   “I’m so sorry I didn’t trust you before; I thought everyone was like my friends back home. I thought that if I made new friends they’d turn their backs on me if I got hurt, like what happened in my old town.” “If they turned their backs on you after you got hurt, they weren’t true friends.” Yugi said sympathetically. “I realized that when I thought back to the time they asked me to be their friend and before I could say anything they just said that they were glad to be my friend. In other words, I didn’t really have a choice.” Kristy explained. “Kristy we didn’t mean to get you to talk about such a depressing subject; how about we go eat and then go to the game shop to play some games.” Tristan said while helping Kristy to her feet and slipping an arm around her waist.   Kristy nodded and they headed out of the forest.                “By the way, what was with the light show?” Yami asked. “To tell you the truth, I have no clue. I don’t know what’s with the accessory jewelry either.” Kristy answered.   As if in an attempt to answer her question, hers and Tristan’s necklaces started glowing right before Bakura came through the trees to attack them. Then their bracelets and armbands started glowing and Bakura was thrown into the nearest portal to the Shadow Realm.             & nbsp; “Well, I guess that answers the question about what the jewelry is for.” Yugi stated. “Look, we’re near the town, we better hurry and get some grub before something else happens.” Tristan said as he started running towards the town with Kristy, Yami, Jou, and Yugi close behind.   They got to the diner and ate a big meal before they went to the game shop where a duel was going on between Kristy and Tristan.   “No, my Cyber Commander!” Tristan whined. “You’re cards are giving you advice!” He accused. “I resent that remark; don’t be such a sore loser hun.” Kristy shot back causing Tristan to blush.             “I can’t believe it, that’s the fifth time you beat me!” Tristan said angrily. “Don’t be such a child, women are always going to be able to beat men, it’s common nature.” Kristy said in a teasing manner. “I think I liked it better when you couldn’t speak.” Tristan mumbled. “I heard that Tristan! You take that back!” Kristy yelled at him. “Gotta catch me first.” Tristan said as he got up and started running. “I’ll catch you yet, and then you’ll get it!” Kristy said in a teasing manner before chasing after him.   Yugi, Jou, and Yami stood there laughing and Yami stated,                “Definitely a perfect couple; or maybe I should say a cute couple.”   The three of them continued to laugh as Tristan tried desperately to get away from the corner that he had backed into in an attempt to escape Kristy’s wrath.            &n bsp;             ;            &n bsp;             ;            &n bsp;             ;            &n bsp;           WB Chan: There, this chapter’s done.
